From ride-hailing and food delivery to scooters, e-bikes, and car-sharing, Bolt helps people move through cities every day. Small, autonomous teams drive this work, combining the speed and ownership of a startup with the scale of a global technology company backed by more than €1bn in funding.

And we're just getting started.

Why join Bolt?

• Join one of Europe's leading technology companies, backed by world-class investors including Sequoia.

This role will work closely with senior leaders in the Autonomous Mobility team and sit at the intersection of business development, commercial strategy, partner execution, and financials. You will help us drive and evaluate opportunities, build the financial cases behind them, and prepare clear materials for partners and internal decision-makers.

• Analyse pricing, unit economics, commercial assumptions and scenarios to help the team make sound recommendations during partner discussions.
